Recommended Spring Seat for a Square Axle Tube  

Square axles normally don't have spring seats like a round axle but do have a hole for the leaf spring bolt to fit into. Take a look at the CE SMITH #CE33201GA-HUB for a visual. The U-bolt mounting kits will have a hole in the center for…

Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler #CT-3001-Z requires a 2 inch wide tongue but I recommend a boxed tongue and not C-channel so there is more support where it counts. Steel tubing at least 1/8 of an inch of wall thickness will do the trick. The length…

I do not recommend using a leaf spring spacer (lift block) on your trailer. The reason for this is because they can cause the trailer to become extremely bouncy and rough which is just going to put more stress on your suspension and wear out the…

You can mount trailer axles above or below the leaf springs. The difference is just the amount of ground clearance that the trailer would end up having. The biggest advantage with the spring below the axle (trailer will be lower) is that you would…

Each of the leaves of the Leaf Spring part #e64SR that you referenced are 1/2 inch thick. Since there is a total of 6 leaves the overall thickness is 3 inches. If you include the bolt that runs through all of the leaves the overall thickness is 3-3/4…

It is highly recommended that the spring seat be at minimum tack welded to the axle. There have been issues that have resulted from the seat not be welded to the axle. If you do not have access to a welder, I recommend taking the trailer to a local…

You do not have to remove the old spring seats unless they cause a clearance issue. But keep in mind that the new spring seats will have to be welded to the axle. Welding should be performed by a qualified professional with experience working on…

Yes when you do an over-under kit you have to weld the seats to the axle for it to be installed properly. It is recommended to tack weld the new spring seats into place but a complete weld job is not required when installing the over-under conversion…

There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…

To correctly measure a leaf spring, you'll want to jack the trailer up on jack stands so the axle is hanging freely, then measure directly across from the center of one spring eye to the other, as shown in the provided diagram. The height of the…

I contacted MORryde and this does happen from time to time as the weight of the trailer can spread out the axles due to downward pressure on the springs/suspension. Odds are the 35" wheel base #MR27ZR will be the correct one for you, but they…

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…
